HONOLULU FILM SCHOOL

Your Honolulu Film School Alternative

It’s safe to say that Honolulu is hot for filming right now and we’ve got your ticket in. We’re Honolulu Film Connection and we build relationships between our students and local filmmaking professionals.

If you select our 6-month behind the scenes track, we will pair you up with working film mentors who will not only give you essential insider advice but also explain the detailed inner workings of the professional filmmaking scene. What better way to break into this diverse and exciting market?

Our 8-month director track goes even further. During the last week, we will fly you out to L.A. to meet face-to-face with your L.A.-based mentors and hone your project’s pitch. An industry executive will then sit down for a pitch meeting with you to see if your project has any marketable value. No other program anywhere offers this kind of high-level professional feedback to its students. You normally have to knock on doors for years to even get in the door. You’ll be catapulted to the front of the line and get a professional’s opinion instantly!

HONOLULU is the tourist Mecca for the state of Hawaii, but behind the beautiful beaches and palm trees lies a rather large media communications infrastructure. Though small in market size, currently ranked 72nd DMA, Hawaii is a media Mecca.

For years, Hawaii has been a dream backdrop to countless TV shows and major motion pictures. The IMDB lists over 165 feature films, TV series or specials made in Honolulu, and over 650 made statewide. The production values of the local TV stations, crews and support networks are exceptional. Imagine having an award winning producer or director serve as your mentor in FILM CONNECTION’s mentor/apprentice film program on location in Hawaii. This is exactly what the FILM CONNECTION’s Film School in Hawaii offers its students.

So ask yourself, are you interested in a career in tv or film? If you are, the best way for you to make it happen is to take the next step and apply for the FILM CONNECTION Mentor/Apprentice Film School. Start your dreams today.
